Little Things that Irk You: Episode V

[nakamura]

Cheers Zaki.

Yeah I won't stitch myself up that's for sure. Tbh payrise or not I want to leave, it's not the money it's the principle. I've had enough now, 15 years with little progress. I've hung on out of convenience, now I don't need to.

The TV Show Pointless. What a absolute load of utter tripe.

[The Moleman]

Pointless Celebrities... the irony...

[speedlolita]

I honestly have no idea why people waste their time watching television.

[eastyy]

I only hanged in with my job cos i just knew deep down they would make us redundant....and i was right

[speedlolita]

Do you think that guy would really want press coverage though? I can imagine in an unfortunate situation such as his you might not want the attention.

[eastyy]

Probably not but more agreeing with the stop making stupid people famous

[speedlolita]

Being constantly unhappy.

Finding the motivation to change the above proving difficult irks me too.

[gunrock]

Sorry to hear that Speedy. Is this something you've always lived with or just a recent occurrence?

More generally, it would explain some of your more 'direct' responses I've read of late.

[speedlolita]

Yeah... I guess that's come across in my posting huh?

Certainly isn't a more recent occurance, just flared up a bit recently.

[nakamura]

You need to figure out what you want in life, what will make you happy. Then go for it.

You're a nice, smart lad. Wasting away at your job right now. Unless you plan to kick on in the company.

[speedlolita]

A job with some satisfaction at the end of the day possibly then...

But yeah, going nowhere fast in this line of work.

[Decider-VT]

Job satisfaction? Isn't that an oxymoron?

[Mayhem]

Not completely. I enjoy a fair bit of what I do at work, keeps my brain ticking over, and they must like it, cos they keep giving me more money as a reward...

[MENTION=13863]speedlolita[/MENTION]: what kind of job do you want to do?

I usually hate silly motivational things people post on FB but this caught my eye:

Find three hobbies you love: one to make you money, one to keep you in shape, and one to be creative.

I like it. Computers are my hobby so my job covers the first one, and I'm learning piano so that's the third. Nothing for the second one, naturally.
